What you think about putting them up. They are all.in 12 litre fsbricnpots roots hanging out bottom like 6-10 inch long. Pot up??. Someone said theyl be okay soem said pot up.I haven't been measuring the ppm or EC of my nutrient mix, but I start with 0ppm RO water and mix calmag and sensi bloom coco at 25% for seedlings/clones.
Looking good mate mine are usually like that this is first time having any issues mind ya me and my mate do it together I dont no what hes duing. But I'm trying to fix it. Mine are 4 weeks tomorrow massive roots but not much growth mind ya topping them probz slowed them.down aswell as the salt build up. Flushed a load las night going to feed now low nutrie ts to run off might out few mil of calmag in aswell can only check ph tonite as ec pen not coming for another two days.Nah, anything more than 3 gallon pots is unnecessary with Coco unless you're planning on growing some giant trees outside.
These are my babies in 2 gallon pots on day # 30 veg:

I'm only on my first grow and I decided to try coco. So far everything is going smooth as butter and I can't imagine even trying soil.
I attribute a lot of my success to these two threads here:

Good roots in coco come with sound watering practices period!!!!!!!! I prefer 100% coco. No need to mix anything like perlite into it. I prefer simple hydroponic nutrients that are easy to use. No additives or 15 different bottles to measure. That kind of stuff only invites problems in my...www.thcfarmer.com Beds Are For F***ing! Small Pots = Big Buds!
The first time i hit 1.5 on a light was 9 plants in one gallon pots fed twice a day. Then I got away from that not thinking about the pot size being the reason. Took over a year to think about that again. Then I did a bigger plant in a 3 gallon and got like 12 oz off a low yielding cookie cut...www.thcfarmer.com

I most likely have the same water as tiur mate in as well in it and in don't need cal mag, even know my water ppm is at a level they say you should use cal mag but I don't as it was giving me problems and since. topping 2 grows have been lush green good growth..Just fed them all again to run off. Only took a bout s litre each to get s good run off as coco was stil hert from the flush yesterday.
Use 1\4 strength nutrients and 1/4 strength calmag. As needs to be used in coco my hydro shop said. Especially after salt build up. Will update with pics in a few days give chance for recovery and growth. Cheers for everyones in put.
What ever works best bro. I've done some grows with calmag and some without. And I usually water wait for top to dry then water and so on. But because this time I've obviously got nute lockout from the salt.im gena feed to eun off every day? Whether it's the best thing to do or not I will find out. As ppl say water coco daily to run off then u get some websites quoting let it dry out so if it ain't broke dont fix it.Had no roots showing through my auto pot let dry 2 days roots exploded and stuck to bottom feeding their growing still the roots now

I might try some with calmag somewith out.I most likely have the same water as tiur mate in as well in it and in don't need cal mag, even know my water ppm is at a level they say you should use cal mag but I don't as it was giving me problems and since. topping 2 grows have been lush green good growth..
Their even a few articles saying calmag is a load of shit its not needed for coco
I put money on it you need to stop calmag completely to get the little ones to pull through..
Iv added calmag again on bigger plants they grew fine look good, but when I then stop they look even better..
Also small plants just never once have liked it when in add it and pritty much do not grow for weeks and weeks
In the grey is what my local hydro store said
As you say bro loads different opinions. Whatever works best is what you gota do. I must of been fortunate for the last three years to have no problems when not using run off. Or maybe it proves it can be grown with no run off.I think of it this way if the feed is low their should be no salt built up in first 2-3 weeks might be wrong , thats just my theory makes sence tho lol
That be a good idea be interesting to see your results compared mine.
Ye maybe it less what works init lol time will tell,, I use a cllone machine and the last year or so iv masters it To a T and iv never seen growth so fast on plant and roots and look incredibly healthy.As you say bro loads different opinions. Whatever works best is what you gota do. I must of been fortunate for the last three years to have no problems when not using run off. Or maybe it proves it can be grown with no run off.
But feeding to run off might increase yield. We shal see
Good advice. However, I wouldn’t flush with plain water until the pre-harvest flush. Running plain water through the coco while the plant is growing could lead to osmotic stress in the roots, due to the rapidly changing salinity. To “reset” coco, you’ll want to flush with the EC you want (say 0.8 EC to start). Then you’ll want to run that solution through the coco until the runoff EC matches what you’re putting in. Then continue daily feedings with the low EC solution to prevent a reoccurrence of salt buildup. When the plant needs more nutes, bump up the strength of the solution in 0.1 EC increments until she’s happy. As she gets bigger she will dry out the coco faster, requiring you to fertigate more frequently. I do 6x a day by mid flower in 3gal pots.In the grey is what my local hydro store said
